Verdict

Donativum, Ashram and Gallagher catch the eye in this Listed affair, with DONATIVUM taken to score under Frankie Dettori. Godolphin are well represented here with Ashram a lively second string, and he holds every chance after a string of consistent efforts. Twice a juvenile winner, Ashram handles the surface and appreciates cut in the ground. He has been knocking at the door at this level and can go close. Fourth in the Middle Park at the end of last season, Gallagher picked up a conditions contest at Newbury recently. That was on fast ground however, and with the recent rain making the ground slower he is taken on. A son of Cadeaux Genereux, Donativum showed decent stamina to take a similar event at Deauville last time. He is a versatile customer, with a good wins to runs ratio. Dettori has chosen Donativum as his mount, and it looks a wise move.

Gallagher Evensfav (8-5) Took keen hold, chased leader, edging left from 2f out, ran on to lead just inside final furlong, driven out and ran on well, won at Newbury 7f cond Stakes (3) gf in Jul beating Plum Pudding (9-6) by 2l, 6 ran.
